Why this recipe is good for you
This recipe is especially rich in Gut health, Protein and Fibre.
- Gut health — A healthy gut supports digestion, immunity and even mood. Fibre-rich and fermented foods — like yoghurt, oats and legumes — feed the good bacteria that live there.
- Protein — Protein helps build and repair muscle, supports your immune system, and helps meals keep you satisfied for longer.
- Fibre — Fibre supports healthy digestion, helps steady your blood sugar, and feeds the good bacteria in your gut.

- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 tbsp sesame oil

Method
- Steam or blanch the broccoli for 2-3 minutes until bright green. Set aside.
- Heat the sesame oil in a pan and pan-fry the tempeh slices until golden, about 3 minutes each side.

- Return the broccoli to the pan with the soy sauce and toss to coat.
- Serve over rice.
Tip: Steam the broccoli just until bright green — overcooking softens the fibre-rich crunch.
